LIST OF POLITICAL
P R I S O N E R S
in the Russian Federation
October, 2014
A POLITICAL PRISONER is a person who a) is serving a sentence passed down by a court in the form of deprivation or
limitation of freedom, or b) is under investigation on charges
punishable by a sentence in the form of deprivation or limitation of freedom. Political prisoners can serve their sentence
in:
- corrective colonies
-colonies-settlements
- pre-trial detention prisons
- psychiatric hospitals (compulsory treatment)
Political prisoners can also be conditionally sentenced with
a mandatory registration in the Russian Ministry of Internal
Affairs; they can be released from a corrective labor colony
on parole; they can be under investigation with a measure of
restraint in the form of house arrest or travel ban.
In this list also persons are included for whom an arrest warrant has been issued, but who are currently hiding from the
investigation.
The total number of people persecuted for their views– 114
persons.
(a) for political views – 42 persons;
(b) for participation in civic activities and in the activities of
NGOs – 16 persons;
(c) for expressing views in blogs – 14 persons;
(d) for religious beliefs – 36 persons;
(e) foreigners abducted from the territory of foreign states
– 6 persons.
(a) 49 persons are in pre-trial detention
(b) 7 persons are under house arrest
(c) 9 persons are under investigation with a measure of restraint in the form of travel ban
(d) 23 persons serve their sentence in corrective colonies
(e) 5 persons serve their sentence in colonies-settlements
(f) 13 persons are sentenced conditionally
(g) 1 persons is on compulsory treatment in a psychiatric
hospital
(h) 4 persons are hiding from the investigation and are wanted
3
(i) 3 persons are under investigation without restraint
Compared with the previous List (June 2014), this List is
characterized by some of the new trends in the state punitive
policy:
(1) The increase in the number of persons persecuted for
political reasons, almost of a quarter (24%). If this
trend continues, one can predict that in 2016 the number of political prisoners in Russia will approach the
number of political prisoners that existed in the early
1980s in the USSR.
(2) New repressive laws become operative very quickly after their adoption. Already in the summer several arrests were made under the new articles of the Criminal
Code, which were introduced into the criminal law only
in the spring 2014.
(3) Significantly more widespread use of torture, fabricated
evidence, and selective application of the law in regard
to political and civil society activists and journalists.
Now 40 articles of the Criminal Code have been used
against them (for comparison: in the USSR 44 articles
of the Criminal Code were used against dissidents).
The appearance of a new category of political prison(4) ers, which did not exist in the Soviet Union since Stalin’s time, namely of foreign nationals kidnapped from
the territories of their states (Ukraine and Estonia) and
charged with violation of the laws of the Russian Federation.
All together this indicates a sharp tightening of the political
regime in Russia and the clear trend of the development of
the authoritarian regime in totalitarian similar to that which
existed in the USSR.

In the summer of 2013 a group of former human rights activists, who had
been active in the 1970s and 1980s on behalf of the dissident movement
in the USSR, to establish the foundation ‘Inostrannyi Agent”. “Inostrannyi Agent” stands for “foreign agent”, a name that Russian authorities
give to Russian non-governmental organizations that are politically active and receive financial support from abroad.
Although the Foundation Inostrannyi Agent became active under this
name only recently, its history goes back to the 1970s and 1980s of the
last century, when a committee was established in Amsterdam to obtain
the release of Vladimir Bukovsky, at that time one of the most famous
Soviet dissidents and political prisoners in the Soviet Union. After Bukovsky’s release in 1976 the committee was changed into the Bukovsky
Foundation, which saw it as its main task to defend Soviet political prisoners, campaign for their release and assist political prisoners and their
families to the best of its ability. As a result of the political developments
in Russia the foundation was revived in the summer of 2013, initially with
a small board consisting of former activists of the Bukovsky Foundation.
A number of well-known people have agreed to lend their name to the
foundation, thereby supporting its goals and at the same time adding
their status to the organization’s credibility.
The foundation has set itself the following goals:
• To document human rights abuses in the former USSR
• To inform the general public through publications, social media
and public events
• To organize campaign in defense of human rights in the target
region
• To support persons and organizations who have run into trouble
as a result of their work in defense of human rights in former Soviet
republics and who deserve our support.
The foundation is fully dependent on donations from private donors,
foundations and other sponsors. Donations can be transferred to the following bank account in The Netherlands:
